Last week I did okay at Publix. My total before coupons was $49.90 and OOP was $27.40. I did get a lot of stuff especially snack and lunch stuff but I won't list it all.Ingles is having triple coupons this week. So I am doing several transactions this week.My first was on Monday. Here is the deal:6 cans of Chef Boyardee Ravioli2 Bags of Wacky Mac1 box of Quaker Instant Grits (would've bought two more but they only had 1)2 cans of evaporated milk2 boxes of Cap'n Crunch P-nut Butter Cereal4 cans of Hunt's diced tomatoes1 loaf of Sara Lee White Wheat2 boxes of Puffs tissues4 rolls of Bounty Big Roll paper towels4 boxes of Toaster Studel3 boxes of Totinos Pizza Rolls (wanted 4 more but they only had one kind and I wanted to have some variety)2 bags Bird's Eye Steamfresh Sweet Peas1 box of Fresh Spinach leaves5 lb. bag of potatoes2 loaves of French BreadTotal before coupons was $51.96OOP = $27.76

Today I went back and bought:2 boxes of Dominos Dark Brown Sugar4 cans of Carnation Evaporated milk2 cans of Glory Honey dipped Carrots2 cans of Veg All Mixed Veggies2 cans of Rotel2 Jars of Pimentos1 container of Almond butterDinner Plate (chicken tenders and mac and cheese, which was shared by me and the two little kids and there was enough brought home for someone else to eat.)1 Diet Mt. Dew (Because I needed something to drink with my meal-we ate at the tables in the deli)Total before coupons=$24.87OOP = $15.72If I had left off the dinner plate, the Mt. Dew, and the Almond Butter it would've only been $8.52

I am definitely going to go back and see what else I can cash in while it is triple coupon week.Now I am off for a short little date night with my husband. We are taking the kids to church and going to have a cup of coffee.

Good job shopping! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I'm glad to know someone is reading and I'm not just talking to myself:-)Glad I can help motivate someone. You are right, it can be exhausting. Just remember to take babysteps and take breaks. And give yourself a day off for fun ;-)
